/jp/ - Otaku Culture

I'm playing "Shirotsumesouwa".

>>10130775
We gte Tohji back from Cartagra, makes up.

>>10130767

Is this that new Liar Soft VN with separate versions for males and females?

>>10130790
doesn't that apply only to the package and possibly bonus stuff?

>>10130790
It's more just drama Cds, but yes. Neon seems to be the main PoV.

>>10130788
I know. Just a bit disappointed that Stella isn't returning. She's one of my favorite Innocent Grey characters.

Playing メルヘン荘. It's fun.

>>10130807
I also love her slight autism and purity.

2013 is shaping up great, at least the first 3 months I have 4 titles I'm somewhat hyped for.

>>10130775
Nope, not to my knowledge. Nothing horrible happened to her, in any event. And I agree that it was too bad; she was underused.

I'd still rather have Ayumu and Tohji though.

>>10130832
At leasty she was plot-related and the game made you do her events to get true ends.

>>10130832
She didn't have an hscene. ;_;

Reposting my request for Janen Hen single in FLAC, if the gentlemen who posted the OST and maxi-single FLAC have it.

>>10130759
This would be very welcome. That ending was sweet.

Also, keep in mind that there are going to be two protagonists in this one, or at the very least Masaki is going to have a big role and probably get involved with several of the girls (so we'll finally get our Yukari ero, it just won't be incest); it could just as easily be him who develops a relationship with Yukiko.

...was what I was going to write, until your post made me go "wait, why is this anon talking about Yukiko? She's long since d----HOLY SHIT HOW DID I NOT REALIZE THAT BEFORE"

So
> Touko doppleganger
> same name as Reiji's dead fiancee

...yeah, I'm pretty sure he's going to bang her.

(also, what are the chances of there being any MMF threesomes?)
(...I'm guessing not very high. ;_;)

More like null, unless it's just a mindbreak gangbang, that never happens in eroge.

guys have you played dark blue
can I please have download link guys guys
guys please I have looked for a while guys
guys

Been playing Kimihagu to break up the more serious things I'm reading. I only picked it up for the Ino art, but it's been surprisingly funny. Probably the first romcom in a long time whose common route didn't bore me to tears. Not to mention, Emily is adorable.

>>10130767
god Neon could you please try and make it a little more obvious how much you want in the pants of The 72-Year-Old Virgin.

After all the dangling of this in front of us by fanartists and Liarsoft themselves, I will be most severely disappointed if he doesn't give her le dick by the end of the game.

(How do you say "le dick" in Serbo-Croatian?)

>>10130884
but but but.

VNDB has a Consensual Group Sex of One Female and Several Males tag now and everything!

> mfw the only non-nukige tagged are Ayakashibito and Daibanchou

:/

My Girlfriend is the President. It's full of lame jokes and sound effects, but I don't know what else to do...

>>10131048
Le kurac?

>>10131048
>The 72-Year-Old Virgin.
That was a lie, he's actually a 92-year-old virgin

>>10131090
ew
Christmas cake, would not bang

>>10131145
you got that reversed, he would not bang you
not even if you threw your underwear at his Tesla coil

>>10131166
>Tesla coil
It sounds so dirty when you put it like that.

I'm really liking Dies Irae's antagonists so far

The heroine I'm looking forward playing the route of the most turns out having gangbang flashback scenes.
It just keeps happening.
Why

>>10131315
What game?

>>10131228
Both antagonist and protagonists are great. Most of them only get development during Rea's route, however.

>>10131315
>>10131330

Zero Infinity, I guess?

>>10130859
Unfortunately, I don't have it in lossy or lossless.

>>10130859
Is it this one?

Got it in 320kbps if you'd like.

>>10131228

>>10131697

Raven Steel here, in 320.
I've had no luck finding a lossless rip of it thus far.

>>10131896
Thanks again.

Just started Causcasus as my first Innocent Grey game. What am I in for? Should I use a walk through?

>>10132342
It's kinda boring, and you really need a walkthrough.
Cartagra would have been a better choice, less system retardation, just choices.

>>10132342
It's pretty bad.
Why do so many people start it these days?

>>10132351
I read it over the weekend along with Cartagra. The game's fault for looking so nice and pretty.

>>10132351
>>10132348
I only picked it because it's their latest game that's available. I have Kara no Shoujo downloaded, but should I really start with Cartagra?

>>10132359
I'd say read Cartagra and KnS and forget the rest.

>>10132359
Cartagra is pretty short and it's not bad (nothing great either)
Rest is just bad, don't lose your time with them

>>10132368
Even Kara no Shoujo? A lot of people seem to like that game.

>>10132375
It's a good game, just use a walkthrough, otherwise it's a nightmare.

>>10132375
Sorry, I misread your post, yeah Kara no Shoujo is good too.
KnS/Cartagra = good, rest is bad

>>10132380
>>10132376
Alright thanks. I'll keep reading Causcasus since it's already installed and if I get bored I try KnS.

>>10131060
Don't say it as if it was bad. Yukino is lovely, don't you think?

Caucasus is nice and worth playing for the characters and atmosphere, but the plot and the unfolding back story become steadily more retarded as the game moves on toward the true end.

Also, many of the flags have more to do with luck than inference, and it's impossible without a walkthrough

>>10130945
Yeah, Kimihagu is fun. Karetoshi is also delicious if you want more Ino. Even has Emily with tits.

>>10130859
The guy who uploaded the maxi, sorry don't have it.

>>10132395
You should read Cartagra before KnS, it has some cameos and even spoilers.

>>10132418
Thanks for spoiling that kiss scene!

She may be cute, but there are way too many ''funny'' jokes...

>>10132442
I actually have that installed but I haven't started it yet. Does it have comedy? I'm reading way too many serious titles.

>>10132748
Yeah sure, but only half the cast is worth a damn. Main selling point of games from Hadashi Shoujo is the awesome lewd talk though.

I know it's not really a VN but is kamidori alchemy meister any good?

>>10133055
Meh. The game is rather luckluster but the actual gameplay is not too bad. There is only one actually route, and there are two other routes that are comprised entirely of sidequests you could just do in the first one anyway. If you have some time to kill go ahead, but it is not the best either.

>>10132380
More accurately, Pianissimo has a story that's pretty dumb and Cartagra's is all right but hampered by a terrible adventure game-style interface. Still worth playing IMO if only for dat Sugina art, but don't expect any masterpieces.

The Nagomibako fandisc, on the other hand is a must play.

>>10131048
дајте јој курац

>>10133055
I thought Himegari was better, but it's still pretty fun.

>>10132442
The boobs are so big in this that they turn me off. And I'm one who likes boobs.

Surprise of today for me: the scenario writer for Kara no Shoujo and every Innocent Grey game since also wrote CURE GIRL. I'm debating picking it up; does his style hold up as well when it's not in a story about sad postwar girls in snow?

Also learned the Cartagra writer was a different guy who also wrote for several Littlewitch games including all of Quartett! (awesome) and part of Period (BA-HO-RIIIIINGG), so I really have no idea what to expect from Cartagra now.

>>10133672
It's been on my backlog for a while as I quite like Coffee Kizoku's art, but I haven't quite gotten around to reading it.
If you do decide to go ahead and read about, please post about it.

>>10133672
Personally, I liked KnS a bit more, but Cartagra is a solid game all around, save for like KnS too many random eroscenes

Finished Izumi's route. I liked how Maruto handled the ending, because I was pretty fucking pissed about halfway in her true route. It's nice that he addressed all the issues and potential issues in the conclusion. I also kind of hope that they give her additional scenes in the PS3 version, but I'm not holding my breath since the only confirmed extension afaik is Kazusa true. That being said though, the whole christmas break thing was the best time I've had playing a Maruto game in a while.

I'm really starting to feel for Setsuna though. I'll look very forward to her pain being compensated for in her route. I'm looking forward to Mari's route for the time being since she's the most irrelevant character. I'm also surprised at how strong the drama is, even though I don't usually like it this thick. Something about putting the game down in the middle of a long play session bugs me and I can't stop playing.

I'm kinda in a rut right now when it comes to eroge. Right now I'm playing a bunch of them at once, but none of them is really interesting enough to make me read continuously. I hit a plateau with Mizuho route in Tsuriotsu, Hinata route in Noble Works, halfway through Asairo's second chapter, and a couple nukige.

I want to install something that gets me pump up like Dies Irae, but then I feel guilty for leaving the ones I'm playing half done.

Sorry for the whiny post. I promise I won't do it again. I guess I just need to get this out of my system.

>>10134632
I'm the exact same way. What I had to force myself to do was uninstall a bunch of VNs except for 2-3, keeping the save files of course. And absolutely not download anything new. But I still have trouble actually finishing anything. I think it's because I keep playing in small increments and rotating between VNs. I guess in the end it's a problem of attention.

>>10134632
I sympathise. I'm in the middle of Itsusora and Itsusora. Keep dropping games to play other ones.

Asairo I couldn't put down myself though. If you're half way through the second route I really recommend continuing it until you get about 3/4ths of the way, once shit hits the fan its impossible to put that game down.

>>10134675
>>10134632
If these VNs don't grab your attention, why do you think they're even worth your time. Go play vidya or catch up on some TV shows or something.

>>10134632
>Tsuriotsu

funny way to write Tsuki ni Yarisou

>>10133672
Cure Girl was decent. I don't remember why I decided to read it since it's not exactly my type of story, but it was a fairly decent VN with nice art (Coffee Kizoku) and music (Toshinori Orikura).

Personally I thought the premise could have been done a little better. Instead of having the characters meet offline straightaway, they could have made them interact with each other both on and offline without knowing who the other person is. The story might have been more interesting that way.

Overall Cure Girl had its moments. I enjoyed the humor and wasn't too put off by some of the drama, which were a bit contrived. The pacing was okay for the most part I think, and the characters, though a bit forgettable, were generally likable (Kotone was my favourite). It will probably be a refreshing break from VNs with heavy plots for some people, but don't expect too much from it. There are bad ends by the way.

Please give me link to this

I feel very bullied by these threads. Everyone is posting Japanese VNs that I'm unable to read because I don't know Japanese.

This is like the sho'ah all over again.

海の子守唄 in Harumade ost is so heartbreaking.

What good obscure old eroge (<2004) you know is worth playing?

>>10136309
Meguri HItohira, but I don't know if it qualifies as obscure.

Finally fired up Grisaia after spending so long saying I would. Michiru doing her tsundere phrases training is killing me.

Looking forward to joining in on the hype for Rakuen after I finish Kajitsu and Meikyuu.

>>10136370

http://vndb.org/v3856

Speaking of Innocent Grey; I've only played Cartagra, Caucasus and was planning on getting to Kara no Shoujo considering the sequel will be out soon but I'm wondering how badly spoiled I am.

People keep posting those bloody screenshots of Toko without properly tagging them, similar to everyone being too brain dead to use spoilers while talking about Umineko. I'm assuming she dies, but is the game still worth playing? Also, I heard the English version of the game had some problems with the notebook (text unlocking and spoiling events beforehand). Is the Japanese version safe?

>>10136426
Swan Song
Eden*
Planetarian
Looking-Glass Insects chapter in SubaHibi.

>>10136426
さよならを教えて

>>10137348
Japanese version is completely safe, also it's worth playing, because those spoilers may not be fully true, it has routes and ends.

Clockup gets it. Just stick the textbox to the side if your company still can't be arsed to do widescreen. It also doesn't cover the CGs this way which is neat.

>>10137716
I imagine that's a nukige since it's clockup, looks pretty good, what's the premise/gimmick?

>>10137747
Virtual Reality Jumanji with sex.

So. Let's say I have 2 VN's on my hard drive.
Fate Hollow Ataraxia and Baldr Sky Dive1+2.
I have limited time, so reading through any of these will take months.

Which shall I read?

>>10137870
Baldr Sky
see you around christmas next year, godspeed

>>10137870
Baldr was good. I recommend having a controller.
Makes the gameplay parts much more enjoyable.

>>10137763

So you get to dodge elephants, rope-jumping with crocodiles, etc, with the sex in the quieter moments? Seems almost too good to be true.

>>10137870

Go with Baldr Sky, use a game pad, more fun. It doesn't have complicated choices

>>10137870
Baldr Sky is my favorite vn, so I would say go with that.

>>10137870
Baldr Sky is one of the best VNs I've read, and arguably one of the vest VNs ever made. If you can't be arsed to grind through battles to get weapons and plugins like me, there's a save up on sagaoz with all the weapons and plugins unlocked.

Whoa, Witch's Garden is already out.

>>10138403
Wow, that's pretty early. Apparently it still needs a NoDVD patch, though.

>>10138403
Wow, nice. Unfortunately all of the girl that appeal to me look like they don't have routes, so I think I'll wait until I read some impressions before I decide to play or not.

>>10138423
I don't really have high expectations for the story or characters. I just want to play it because it's pretty.

>>10138613
Yeah, the emote or whatever it's called is really neat. I've only seen it used in a PSP game before so it's really weird to look at.

>>10135664
I liked the soundtrack in that game. Felt like P3.

Last played: none

Currently playing: Eiyuu Senki. Macedonia challenge is welcoming although -20% income as the reward for winning a city is very eyebrow raising. Video cast: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=13QzYo0aeQE

Looking forward to: Alice Tale!! Just one more day!!

>>10138423
>>10138613
I just want to fuck the silver haired kuudere.

On that note, what are some games with great kuuderes? I've read the route of that one from Fortune Arterial and that's about all, I think.

Hey, I'm having some trouble finding a crack for Haramin, and the demo .exe swap trick isn't working.. Could anyone help me out?

Did anyone play Supipara? How much drama was there compared to the other minori games? It looks pretty fucking happy and I wouldn't be prepared for a sudden genre shift.

>>10133210
You meant Causcasus, right?

I just discovered some people actually prefer to play VN in fullscreen mode... Why?

>>10139555
Less temptation to alt-tab to 4chan, and you can set your screen so it doesn't stretch/distort the image.

>>10139555
Because I have a 1920x1200 monitor and I don't feel like reading a postage stamp?

>>10139555
Less distracting, more immersive. I thought this was obvious?

>>10138415
The Siglus Realive patcher thingie made by those Taiwanese people works. It's linked in girlcelly's thread.

>>10137348
Nope. Toko either A) dies or B) survives with all of her limbs cut off, leaving her as a torso with a head. The latter only happens in one of the several endings. It's absolutely worth reading, as it's probably the best of the Innocent Grey VNs.
>>10137876
How does Baldr Sky compare with Muramasa?

>>10140131

She has another ending when you hit all her flags, which is probably canon and segues into KnS 2

>>10140131
You can't really directly compare Muramasa and Baldr Sky, they are too different, so depending on your taste it is either better/as good as/worse. But both are definitely of top of this medium and you should get equal experience of goodness just bit different goodness

>>10139006
I want the knight girl with braids.

Both redheads are good too, though I'm not sure if one of them is a heroine or not.

And the loli that looks like someone right out of an Atelier game. Probably not a heroine though.

>>10140131
>>10140343
To expand on this, Muramasa is the epitome of 浪漫. It's in every aspect, also sword fighting and contrasting philosophies. It's only really comparable to Hanachirasu, except it's impossibly better because there's multiple shades and developing philosophies told through the story instead of being stuck with a label from the start.

If I could compare Muramasa to any other game, it would be Dies Irae, but Dies Irae is pure fantasy action while Muramasa is detailed fantasy sword fighting and political and moral and war philosophy among others. They're comparable in the sense that each character represents a concept or an idea or an ideal, and the battles in it are representative of the strength and resolution of the concepts backing the characters, who are mostly actors to enact on their belief systems. However there's no Melcurius-like figure in Muramasa, they way the stories play out and the character structure is again, very different. It's an extremely powerful, extremely interesting, extremely memorable game, and I really encourage you to play it. For just about anyone there is some worth in the experience.

Baldr Sky however is pure detailed science fiction and triumphing over evil. The amount of intricacies in the setting was absolutely exquisite and immersive. However, when I say pure science fiction, I mean it, it's that and not much more than less. The up side is that the characters aren't one dimensional like most of the characters in Muramasa are, but that's conversely a down side because not all of Sky's cast is even remotely as powerful. Also a very memorable game with a good conclusion that makes you feel accomplished. Also the gameplay is like a 2D armored core cross Virtual on, and is imo the best real time action eroge have to offer. Hell even compared to most video games, Sky's game component is outstandingly strong and worthwhile.

Can someone pass me some good portrait wallpapers form eroge? I got a new monitor and it needs some clothes.

Links are fine too.

>>10137763
But wasn't that the plot of Euphoria?

>>10137348
> I heard the English version of the game had some problems with the notebook (text unlocking and spoiling events beforehand).

There was a patch released that corrects this. There's also one that changes the default font to a nicer one.

>>10140882
Okay, now I just have to read Dies Irae.

>>10140882
Ewww, please don't compare Muramasa with a game where absolutely every character talks like that chuunibyou comic relief character everyone likes to make fun of.

>>10141048
This isn't a real wallpaper (it was the background image from the KnS 2 site) but it's very high res and looks gorgeous. It's my current desktop.

>>10139129
D'OH. I certainly did.

>>10141107
The dialogues of Badlr Sky aren't that bad

The story of Witch's Garden looks retarded but e-mote looks pretty cool, cool enough to check out. Anyone feel the same way?

http://youtu.be/9Csp_FoDRTY

>>10141130
If nothing else, it's pleasing to look at, even ignoring the E-mote gimmick.

>>10141130

I'm in the middle of Shukufuku no Campanella, and no, it probably isn't cool enough.

This is probably the most banal and uncreative thing I've read in recent memory.

>>10141130
>Anyone feel the same way?
No, you are most certainly the only one.

>>10141143
I liked Campanella a lot. Relaxing atmosphere and very pleasing all around.

>>10141130
For those who aren't interested in that type of cutesy game, it will probably be the only reason to take a look at it. I didn't play the trial, but it seems that besides E-mote there's nothing exceptional about it.

Personally, I think it looks pretty nice.

>>10141143
My posy or the actual game? I am not gonna judge the game definitively until I play it.

>>10141137

Eclair gives a special feeling in me, I don't know why I like heroines like that.

>>10141157

That's what I was hoping for, but in playing it the plot is more like a Saturday Morning cartoon and the characters are all stereotypes. Not really that relaxing. Also I know it's all about wish fulfillment and so on, but the whole harem thing and the way all the characters basically scream innuendos in the MC's face makes me feel like my intelligence is being insulted and it gets old. It's just the same thing over and over to the point it becomes irritating.

really? you must have never read one dimensional characters if you think those qualify as such

>>10141191

Because anyone who dislike the dialogues in Dies Irae is obviously pretty stupid

>>10141189
>That's what I was hoping for, but in playing it the plot is more like a Saturday Morning cartoon and the characters are all stereotypes.
Saturday Morning Cartoons were pretty nice and character's being stereotypes is such a worthless complaint anyway.
>Not really that relaxing
Agree to disagree then!

>>10141201
>Because anyone who dislike the dialogues in Dies Irae is obviously pretty stupid
Whoa, slow down there. Dies Irae is about as close to unreadable as an Eroge can get if you're not into chuuni.

>>10141201

This will happen, I just know it.

I thought it was great how they didn't give him a face even after he was no longer the protagonist.

>>10141572
I hope one of the killers is female this time. Not the shrine maidens, either (no way am I believing you that easily, trial), but the real criminal mastermind, even if she is just the first boss a'la the Black Madonna killer.

>>10141582
It was way too easy to point the killers out last time as well, hopefully they mix it up for this game. I haven't read the trial though

I'm not looking for "recommendation charts" or any of that bullshit, but ever since I started reading in jap I feel like I wandering from one VN to another. Right now im basically using tag search and the screenshots on vndb to make most of my decisions. Is their any decent sites eng or jp that give quick run downs on VNs or would shed some light on some gems I know I'm missing.

>>10141722
you can use erogamescape as a jp reference, but you'll still have to look around for personal reviews or blogs to find something you might like
find some user whose scores you mostly agree with, see what games he valued highly, explore from there

>>10141189

I must not be that far in the game because none of the girls have been gunning for the MC's dick yet.

Awesome. Relay Broadcast is out. Time to drop everything.

Damn, there is an enforced route order? Seems like I can only enter Ririko's and Misumi's routes.

>>10141722
http://omochikaeri.wordpress.com/
These guys list some monthly big releases. Rather good for getting a general grasp of the new titles.

If you're still at the point where you're wondering whether some games are too difficult to read, I'd recommend checking out
http://tlwiki.org/index.php?title=VN/Eroge_Script_sizes
While not a true measure of "difficulty", the kanji count really helped me sort out some of the harder games for later.

You could also check out other titles of your liked studios or writers. Ask around.

>>10142103
>スペルマ様
Oh my.

From the complete save file, Witch's Garden's h-scenes are divided as:

>7 for Ayari
>4 for Suzuno, Ririko, Misumi, and Eclair

>>10142429
Oh, so Eclair does have a route. Time to download then.

>>10142103
From the walkthrough, it looks like you can only do Ririko's or Misumi's route the first time around. Doing either will unlock Ayari's and Suzuno's. Doing Misumi's will unlock Eclair's route. After doing all 5, you get access to Ayari's true route.

>>10142524
I wonder why they decided to go with an enforced order. I dislike it in non-plot-focused games. Ririko and Misumi don't particularly appeal to me so it seems I'll be forcing myself through one of their routes to get to the ones I actually want to do. Oh well, at lease the game's pretty.

More eroge makers need to do what Lose did with Monobeno and make h-scenes optional / non-canon that are unlocked as you play through the game.

It's the obvious solution to the problem of having random h-scenes that have no place within the game's story itself.

>>10142966
you can always skip them and pretend they don't exist just as well

>>10142583
>>10142524
>Ayari's true route last
>enforced order
Motivation for playing this game = 0, I hate enforced route because no game has 100% likable heroines.
At least Ririko is half decent so far.

>>10143059
>no game has 100% likable heroines

Although rare, these games do exist. Of course, this is up to individual preference too. For me, I liked all the heroines in Baldr Sky.

>>10143085
even Chinatsu? ew

>>10143141
I've read people complaining about her but I honestly can't see the reason for all the hate for Chinatsu.

Finished Misumi's route. Best thing about it was Eclair so I guess it's a good thing that this unlocks her route. Now I really need some fucking sleep.

>>10143141
Nanoha is about 20 times worse than Chinatsu.

>>10143059
>Symphonic Rain

will there ever be a plot-heavy game that manages to pull off a well-written rape scene that uses first-person PoV

>>10142429
So no Yuko scenes I take it? Unfortunate.

Wow Witch's Garden is a pain in the ass. I think there's a mistake in the walkthrough. I needed to do Mizumi, Eclair, AND Ririko's route before I could get to either Ayari's or Suzuno's. Also for some reason, using the full save didn't let me skip the enforced route order... as in I couldn't get to their routes... which doesn't make any sense.

>>10143287
Why do people keep on hating Nanoha?
I like her. ;_;

>>10144702
I found her to be the best imouto type character that wasn't actually an imouto, as in you really want to protect her. During the last battle in her route, I felt bad even letting one of her gates get destroyed.

>>10144706
>imouto-type character
>not actually imouto
Mai Goto is great for doing that.

>>10144692
wow is it really that short? fuck this game

>>10144796
No, I just skipped through those routes because I have zero interest in those girls.

Thanks for helping me with the Botedol crack earlier /jp/. I was able to update the page on VNDB. One more inbreeding game down, many more to go.

http://vndb.org/v5486/chars#chars

Yeah, I don't think I'll be playing Witch's Garden right away now, what with all this enforced order stuff.
Time to go remember what other things I wanted to play that were coming out this week I guess.

where are all of you /jp/sies in this thread from? since all of you seem to write with good english and talk about Japanese games, are all of you asians who know english or are you americans who know Japanese? I really, really want to know please.

>>10144935
Mostly people who learned Japanese, along with a decent chunk of people who are lazy and just use AGTH. Native Japanese speakers are a rarity.

>>10144935
California, Fresno

Does light have any other notable games other than Dies Irae, Gunjou, and KKK?
Tapestry premise seems like a promising nakige but I'm not sure if the game actually lives up to it.

>>10144935
I immigrated to America from Asia. I took some Japanese courses back in high school and college, which help somewhat.

>>10144962
California, Sacramento/Davis here.

>>10144935
As far as I know, most of /jp/ is made of Americans and freedom hating Euros

>>10144935
Canadian here.

>>10144935
Seattle, and as white as can be.

I'm from Pennsylvania.

Any Illadelphia bros here in /jp/? There was a /b/ thread once that had almost 20 people claiming to be from Philly in it.

>>10144935
El Paso, Texas.

I can read games but I need a dictionary once every few minutes. Japannese is hard even when you know most of you kanji and loads of jukugo.

>>10144935
German here, only posting once in a blue moon though.
Actually still at the last game I started, not making too much process nowadays. It's a fun one, though.

>>10145103

>draw someone moe
>add lines to the face so you know they're old

>>10144966
Cool, Davis here too.

>>10145145
Yeah that face looks awful. The height being the same doesn't help.

>>10145211
>>10144966
Neat. Two Davis people. Well, three including myself.

>>10144935
Oregon. White as fuck.

>>10145211
Do you happen to go to UCD by any chance?
I apologize for the /soc/ direction this thread is heading to. I'll try to keep it down.

>>10144963
It doesn't live up to it, definitelty.

>>10145242
Something like that. Grad student.

>>10145238
>>10145039

Oregon too

>>10145242

what a quinkydink, I go to UCD too

You three should get together and have awkward conversations about your favorite porn games.

>>10145374
Uh... are you perhaps a member of DAC?

>>10144935
Finland. Self–taught, though my output skills are a bit wonky. Actually planning to study East Asian languages/culture in the future (provided I can pass the entrance exam).

I still have to rely on JParser for harder stuff but can read Root Double level games without any hook tool's assistance.

>>10145145
Is that common in VNs? I've only see it in this anime here. (the older girl in back left is her daughter, and she has the unseen 20something main character as a son so shes at least mid-late 40s)

>>10145406
Araragi was so adorable, if asairo stoppped in the first chapter she'd be my favourite girl.

>>10145405

no sir i am not

>>10145406
I forgot the reason why Araragi is a military otaku. What was it again?

>>10145414
Oh okay. I guess there are people hiding their power in campus too.

>>10145395

And such each other's penises

Such is the /jp/ meetup way

>>10145039
Are you that crazy motherfucker from lauta?

I'm really happy that you Americans play visual novels.
I hate anime(except Jojo), but I really love VN.
By the way, I recommend you my favourite VN “Bullet Butlers”.
Sorry for my poor English.

>>10145465
Afraid not.

>>10145502
How disappointing

>>10144963
Paradise Lost (belong in the same series as Dies Irae), Dear my Friend (romance eroge partly written by Masada), Boku to, Bokura no Natsu, Kaminoyu, Zero Infinity and Vermillion.

These are what I liked other than those you cited, though I haven't read everything Light made so I may be missing a few of their good ones.
There are also some weird ones like Tapestry that has a pretty nice common route but horrible routes or Soranica Ele that has a really nice setting, good writing and very strong beginning but turn really stupid later on.

>>10144935
I'm part of a dirty Asian race. Filipino. Stationed at Naval Base San Diego.

https://twitter.com/moogy0
Looks like FSN really is pretty badly written if even a fanboy like Moogy has some problem with its text

>>10145536
I read from the archive people stating that Paradise Lost kinda lost its meaning if you have read Dies Irae first.

Is Masada good at writing romance? Dear my Friend kinda reminds me of Moshiraba, probably due to the art.

Thank you for your impression. I think I have an idea of what to play now.

>>10145586
Other than the overall big setting, Paradise Lost has a completely independant story so no there is no meaning lost
Spoiler for DI/KKK I guess people told you that because in DI/KKK you know that eventually Mercurius hijjack happens but it never happens during PL itself

>>10145576
You can play eroge freely in the Navy? I might actually considering joining the Navy after graduating college a serious option then.

>>10145577

>tweets in japanese
>no retweets
>no japanese followers

look at this weeaboo

>>10145652
He's Japanese on the inside

>>10144956
so can i play my untranslated VNs using shitty translation tools or should i bother learning Japanese? I'm asking this because I have nothing to do all day other than watching animu/mango inside my room since i dropped out of high school 1 year ago, and i know other people wish to study Japanese but can't cause of uni+work. what should i do with my time? should i study Japanese or no? also, im 18 yo. pls halp me /jp/.

>>10145693
>so can i play my untranslated VNs using shitty translation tools
No, not at all, at least not if you want to actually enjoy them. Just learn Japanese.

>>10145693
Dude, get your ass back to high school. For real. Nobody will ever take you seriously if you don't. A GED is totally not the same. I don't know what hardships drove you to quit but it's not worth it in the long run.

>>10145776
Not him but I got a GED and I am about to get a bachelor's in EE. You are only as good as you last degree, he should get his ass in college.

Gakthun popularity poll started today. Currently ranking after Tesla and Neon are Berta and then Emilie.

Oh, and Liarsoft apparently isn't going to count any votes from foreign IPs :/
Better find a good proxy if you want to participate.

>>10145652
Having Japanese followers isn't a big deal, since most Twitter users there are polite and will follow you back as a matter of courtesy no matter what your account is like.

Was there any good VN released yesterday?

>>10145824
Not really, check out http://omochikaeri.wordpress.com/2012/11/01/november-2012-eroge-releases/

There might be something to fit your fancy. Also don't listen to Zen, he's a dick.

>>10145807
>Liarsoft apparently isn't going to count any votes from foreign IPs
why
I enjoyed voting the past polls and nothing happened, did people complain about 10 foreign votes skewing the poll or something?

>>10145807
>Berta
I don't get her, is she supposed to be a guy or something? I could swear she was voting for the fraternities.

>>10145841
it's a man according to her background info, but he does look like a reverse trap, and Berta is a female name
anyways, 4 of her 9 votes are from the same name/ip combination in the space of 4 minutes

>>10145850
I hope they don't try and pull what I/O did, because it was obvious the reverse trap was a reverse trap and they tried to pull it as a twist.

>>10145607
Nah. Only during the weekends when I'm actually not working. Other than that I don't really have much time on my hands. The military is a good place if you love the benefits. But if you're not really social or you hate working with people, I wouldn't recommend it. Also, if you had to choose one, I'd recommend the Air Force. At least that way you wouldn't have to be in the seas without internet for months at a time.

>>10145841
Yeah, I didn't think for one second that she was actually a guy; when I read the profile for her I wondered if it was a mistake. Least convincing reverse trap ever.

>>10145900
Maybe they'll pull something interesting about that in 'his' chapter.

>>10145912
An inverted Victor Victoria twist (actual dude pretending to be a reverse trap) could be interesting.

>>10145841
>>10145900
How is the trial btw? I haven't played it yet. Does it look like a homerun?

>>10145919
The characters are wonderful, really likeable. Also there are about 50000 metric tons of UST between the leads, if you like that sort of thing (I do).

>>10145925
UST?

>>10145919
Great music, art is a bit more realistic but still good, and the mains have a ton of chemistry in chapter 3.

>>10145925
>50000 metric tons of UST
As long as it is written well and both characters are likable.

>>10145927
Does it give the same WAB feeling that the good ones give?

>>10145927
> UST?

Unresolved sexual tension. Hopefully it will not stay unresolved the whole game.

>>10145928
Art direction is close, same lines and patterns, it's just a bit more defined because it's a bit more science-related than the rest.

>>10145933
Tesla's SCIENCE is powered by his virginity, you are hoping for his defeat.

>>10145939
I liked the way that the previous ones had a setting that felt very alive and had a really immersive atmosphere. I guess I will miss the fantastical elements though.

>>10145946
It had some elements reminiscent of sona nyl's intermissions , which are some kind of tale for kids which are basically related to the chapter.
this one is more like Utena's kashira chorus since it's a bit more metaphorical.

>>10145945
but it will be a victory for MY DICK

Studio beast is down? Going to the JQV site says that it's undergoing a renewal? Could we be seeing some info on Mine Sweepers this week? God I hope so.

>>10145954
I hope it's just like Lily's sex scene, incredibly awkward and virginal.

I don't care for WAB-style softcore porn anyway.

Even cross channel is out before xchange, fuck.

>>10144935
Europe. English and Japanese are my fourth and sixth languages respectively -- my Japanese writing/speaking skills are somewhat weak compared to my reading since I've mostly learned from eroge and stuff

Trying out Witch's Garden for a change of pace.
Kawashima Rino was a pleasant surprise.

>>10146475
That girl makes me diamonds. Another game where we hope for the FD to have some side routes.

>>10144935
I'm from suburban New Jersey. I'm probably the only non-Japanese that knows the language within a 100 mile radius. I'm also probably the only one that knows what a "visual novel" is within a 200 mile radius.

Won't come as too much as a surprise to people that played it but Secret Game Code Revise is basically getting completely remade for PSP. About 80% of the game is getting rewritten and a third chapter is added, apparently making it double the length of the original. So basically the same as Killer Queen --> Secret Game.

http://www.yetigame.jp/rebellions/index.html

>>10146683
I just hope that they won't censor the shit out of it like they did with KQ -> SG. Being hopeful about this, wish they would rewrite the first chapter so that the MC actually does more in it, and interested in what they are going to do about the third chapter, would be nice to see some of the other characters survive

Going to finally read Sharnoth soon (then re-read Inganock and Celenaria) now that the patch for the full-voice version is finally out. I had been about to start Sharnoth a year ago when I saw news of the new version and decided to wait for a new patch; didn't realize it would end up being this long.

Right now I'm finishing up Otome Crisis; Laurier is such an adorable rapist. Yuri rape is a surprisingly good combination of two things that individually I sometimes have trouble fapping to. Overall it's a whole lot better than Xross both comedy-wise and story-wise. I'm still horribly disappointed though about the Imnity x Mia scene getting interrupted just as it was getting good.

>>10146675
I'm from suburban NJ too and know moonrunes.

>>10146701

Yes, the one thing I felt it would be better was for MC to show more involvement and the two routes felt a little short. However if 80%of it is getting rewritten then it's practically new and fingers crossed for new endings. But PSP... geh

>>10146882
I hope they never swap the psp for ports.

>>10145577
I never did FSN in japanese but the text of Mahoyo left me cold.
And the text of FSN is supposed to be worse?

>>10147039
but it has voices so all the people who were crying about mahoyo have something to help their ADD

>>10147119
>their ADD
Defending mahoyo's lack of voices?

all i see is his usual sucking romeo's cock

The bits written in japanese, not his Cross Channel fapping.

Oh, I just looked at the first and last ones and thought he was just ranting about nothing important just for the sake of tweeting in Japanese.

Trying the game thanks to your post.

Monobeno is surprisingly raunchy as hell.

>Play twister with your childhood friend and little sister wearing skimpy outfits.
>Get a boner.
>Friend stops you in the bathroom, points at your crotch, and asks which one of them gave him the boner.

I'm glad that the makers had to foresight to throw in optional h-scenes.

>>10147652
Is there an ongoing translation maybe?
Sounds pretty fucking nice.

Does EGS not let you list by platform or have a tag dedicated to platforms? Wanted to check out a list of eroge/VNs that've had PS3 ports, but I couldn't find any way to just get a simple list of them.

Reading Kusarihime, I tried a while ago but I didn't manage to run it properly, particualrly the music, so I tried this time with the dl version, 800x600, so good, except the opening which looks like shit in the engine.

>>10147726
Nope, it's all yours. Get to work.

>>10147552
I can't imagine why unless you have a fetish for things you can't have.
The game seems to be better than I expected, but we'll see after the last 3 routes.

>>10147652
I liked it personally. Good production values and the ero was fapable. Also Arisu is a slut.

I almost feel bad for the protagonist here. Granted, it's only 45 minutes or so into the game but it's almost as if every female older than him in his family wants to rape him.

So moe~

Does the inclusion of rape make a VN "dark"? It seems like it's prevalent in "dark" VN's, like Kara no Shoujo, Muramasa, Saya no Uta, etc. But Baldr Sky also has rape, but that's more of an action eroge than anything else, and I wouldn't really consider it dark.

What VN is this?

>>10149004
あえて無視するキミとの未来 ～Relay broadcast～
I'm playing it right now. It has some great comedy but don't expect anything else from it.

>But Baldr Sky also has rape, but that's more of an action eroge than anything else, and I wouldn't really consider it dark.
I dunno man, the setting is pretty dystopia it just doesn't happen to the protagonist and friends (for the most part).
I feel really horrible for the girls that was abducted and forced into sexual slavery. Especially that one girl that got her eyeballs plucked out by Gilbert

>>10148987

No, not necessarily.

>>10149038
How are the girls?

>>10149318
Have you played ALcot honeycomb's 春季限定ポコ・ア・ポコ? The writer is the same and it feels a bit like he just copypasted the characters. If you liked the heroines from that game you'll like the heroines from this.

Playing Soukoku no Arterial.
This is even more autistic than Kamidori.

About to finish the Miu route in Dracu-Riot, who should I do next?

>>10149423
You should do Nicola's route because of how adorable Nicola is.

>>10149548
But in terms of full routes, aside from Miu's I've only did Elina's before the game got put on the backburner due to not having much time and I'm generally terrible about going back and finishing things.

It's that time that I've been waiting for in White Album 2.

So I've got a question. I'm saving whatever the last route I play in this game in to play the PS3 version on Christmas Eve and Christmas day in adherence with the game's winter themes. Between Setsuna True and Kazusa Normal ->True what should I be playing on that day?

Also when do I read the web novels included in the game?

Then,
Playing: Itsusora (Konome), Chronobelt (Chronobelt), and WA2.
Looking forward to: Gal/Eroge-wise WA2 PS3, KnS2, MLATE, and Daitoshokan. Q1 next year is outrageously good all around.
Finished: WA2 Mari. I liked her route, but I really disliked how pathetic Kitahara was and how she lost a lot of her mature allure amidst the excessive amounts of dere. At the same time, I went into it thinking I might get something like NG, so that was kind of my bad. I liked Izumi normal the best out of the entire game so far. All over though I really appreciate how well made this game is, even though it's not really my thing, the drama, particularly the Setsuna related drama really hit hard.

>>10149656

>>10149656
>Daitoshokan
Was the trial that good?

>>10150067
It was a more mature, well refined school romance comedy. It's still a moege and uses those paradigms, but it didn't feel as generic as (imo) Fortunate Arterial did. Moege aren't my type of game either and I still liked it. I think it'll be a very enjoyable charage, under certain conditions.

The trial was good yeah, but the characters kind of drew me in. I'm mostly looking forward to it because I have faith in the devs competency after Eustia.

>>10149942

Just starting it myself as well, seems to be easy one for the weekend

>>10149942
It has gameplay?

You can find a video of it on their site. It looks like some gimmicky sort of rpg battle.
